Lessons & Carols
December 14
8:30 and 10:30 am Worship
Lessons & Carols is a much-loved Bradley Hills’ tradition that features rich carols, poignant lessons, and beautiful singing — all helping to tell the fullness of the Christmas story.
Our Chancel Players read favorite Bible stories (the lessons) that lead up to the birth of the baby Jesus. These stories are interspersed with beautiful music (the carols) that highlight and reflect on the deeper meaning of these lessons.
There will be special music at both services. The 10:30 service will feature the Chancel Choir.
